Boeve impressed during the 2023 season thanks to his pure bat-to-ball skills—which are the standout tool in the Nebraska-Omaha infielder’s profile. Boeve hit .401/.512/.563 and struck out just nine times in 211 plate appearances; good for just a 4.3% strikeout rate. He also added four home runs, 15 doubles and went 6-for-6 in stolen bases. While the Summit League is competitive, scouts questioned how a dominant mid-major bat would translate to SEC arms or pro pitching, as the level of competition can be a bit more inconsistent. He managed to put some of those questions to rest after a strong turn in the Cape Cod League, where he managed an 83% contact rate and walked nearly as often as he struck out. While Boeve hasn’t shown much power, he does have a solid, 6-foot-3, 200-pound frame. At the moment he doesn’t lift the ball much, instead utilizing a level bat path and driving the ball into the gaps while using the entire field. Defensively, Boeve projects to be a solid-average third baseman with continued repetition and pro development. He doesn’t possess the quickest first step but has a reliable glove and enough arm strength to be a serviceable defender with the ability to contribute at first base and the corner outfield as well.
